Hello friends!
I've got pretty urgent problem on my hands, so any constructive help will be appreciated!
I need to support legacy app which uses FCKeditor to create HTML data used for page generation. App is used to collect information from users, where information is in free text form. The problem is that users are pretty much free to copy and past any text from word, pdf, whatever. It is causing real pain when user paste something like bulleted lists.
That leads to a couple of problems:
1. Sometimes generated HTML contains characters that are not compatible with generated page encoding. Tricky bullets from somewhere.
2. Generated pages are inconsistent in styling. One page has numbered lists, another round bullets etc.
Would be cool if one can advise how to deal with this. I knowledge in this area is next to zero.
The ideal solution, I as imagine it myself, will be enforce encoding and style on paste. So, I wonder if it is doable and if so, then how. I also would like to have predefined style that will be applied on paste, will be available through toolbar button click, so if user entered something manually it will be able to apply that single style to list.
So, sounds like I want total control over encoding, characters and style in any given editor instance.
Please help!
